So tomorrow I'm going to a math contest (and skipping school), these are the finals as I already passed the preliminaries. This is the second time I'm taking it and if last year taught me anything, it's that the finals consist mostly of preliminary questions just with slighly different numbers. I was able to figure out almost every question but one and since my actual math teachers are of no help I though I'd ask here.
The question is: "A wire is cut into two pieces of equal length. One is bent to form an equilateral triangle with area 2, and the other is bent to form a regular hexagon. What is the area of the hexagon?"
Possible answers are: A) 2 B) 3/2√3 C) 3 D) 2√3 E) 4
I don't care too much about the answer but more on how you get there.
I can give you any one (or two or three) of the 3ds humble bundle games (minus SF3d) if you can help me
